Job Description
As we seek God's will for our search, we are excited as a congregation to see how the Holy Spirit will bring our church and our new pastor together. Calvary Baptist Church of Monticello, Illinois is searching for our next Senior Pastor, as our previous pastor recently accepted a call to service on the staff of the Illinois Baptist State Association. Calvary strives to be a warm and welcoming Southern Baptist Church seeking to bring Christ to our community. The Senior Pastor is responsible to the church to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, to teach the Biblical revelation as the inerrant and inspired Word of God, to engage in and oversee pastoral care ministries, and to provide administrative leadership in all areas of church life. Our church has been blessed with many good leaders and teachers who are ready to support our new pastor in growing our church spiritually and attracting new families to our congregation. Calvary, a member of the Southern Baptist Convention, is active in giving, community involvement, and missions. The church mission statement is "Loving God, Loving People, By Being Disciples Who Make Disciples" and that statement is being fulfilled through our thriving children's, youth, and adult ministries. Calvary averages 125 for Sunday morning service, and out of the 60-80 on Wednesday nights, approximately half are students and children. Monticello, population 6,000, is the county seat of Piatt County, and has a rich agricultural heritage as well as a vibrant small town atmosphere. Our school system consistently ranks in the top 100 in Illinois and we are centrally located between five university cities.
